Mortal Engines

About Me

Started in 1994 in Portland. Contributed material to the Precipitation Compilation CD (1995- Partial Records), the Amphibious Maximus Compilation (1995- Red Phraug Records), and the Storm of Drones 3 CD compilation (1996-Asphodel Records). Spent the next seven years parenting & making home tapes. Pressure Vessel (the newest release) is finally available! The previous Mortal Engines Release is a collaboration with the Noisettes (Static Blue, 2004- available through CD BABY). There is a SIGNIFICANT DISCOUNT for those willing to purchase the entire CD as mp3s. CD BABY will also send you photo files of the artwork and song list so you can make your own CD at home.

Stay tuned for Sugar Skull (a kind of "double EP" that will feature live tracks and a 26 minute single mix in four parts), which is almost complete and will be available soon.
